28. Compound 16 was conformationally stable at room temperature. However, it underwent isomerization in toluene in 5 h at 90°C. The equilibrium ratio was 36:64, diequatorial/diaxial (Figure 4). (Chemical Equation Presented)
29. The stereostructure of trans-7b was determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis (Figure 5). (Chemical Equation Presented)
30. The PTLC purification gave four separable diastereomers associated with relation between the 9,10-stereogenic centers in the phenanthrene skeleton and the sulfur chiral center. Oxidation of trans-7c and trans-7c′ by MCPBA led to the same compound 18. The stereostructure of 18 was determined by X-ray analysis (Scheme 9). In a similar manner, cis isomers of 7c and 7c′ were both converted into cis-19.
